Values Statement
The Fine Timber Tasmania Chain of Custody System ("the system") is owned and managed by Fine Timber Tasmania Inc.
The system aims to ensure that customers are supplied with products containing Tasmanian fine timbers that are sourced from a recognised forest source certified to the Australian Forestry Standard. The system is maintained by a coordinator and is annually assessed by independent auditors.
A set of quality objectives have been established, which will ensure continuity, validity and integrity of the system. These quality objectives will be reviewed via management review meetings.
The quality objectives of the system that Fine Timber Tasmania Inc, license holders and the coordinator commit to are:
 |
Complying with all requirements of the system. |
|
Ensuring ongoing improvement of the system to support changing market demands, modern practices and technological developments. |
|
The promotion of the lawful use of Tasmanian fine timber. |
|
Generating consumer confidence in the origin of fine timber material. |
|
Ensuring compliance with applicable laws and/or regulations covering environmental impacts. |
|
Recognising the right for personnel to collectively bargain consistent with the International Labour Organisation conventions. |
